Jon Athans Project - Used Books, Torn Pages lyrics

rate me

Hey, how you been

I been thinking bout the end

Have the pages still turn

And the memories still burn

Used book stores with torn pages

And fictional stories of love from the ages

I'd hold the ladder while you scan the top shelf

Joking maybe someday, someday we'd read about ourselves

Should have kissed you that night

Before that subway in the rain

If I'd kissed you that night

Maybe everything would change

And we'd have a perfect start

A story for the times

Bound on a bookshelf

Meant always to remind us

Of why we have to stay

How I touched you that day

First kisses in the rain

Used books and subways

You say it's just a memory, you just throw away

You say it's just a memory, it's just another day

But it's not just a memory, I'll try my very best

It's not just the day she came, but also the day that she left

Used book stores with torn pages

And fictional stories of love from the ages

I'd hold the ladder while you scan the top shelf

Joking maybe someday, someday we'd read about ourselves

Should have kissed you that night

Before that subway in the rain

If I'd kissed you that night

Maybe everything would change

But our chapter's almost done

And the book store's all gone

So I must be moving on

Our chapter's done
